Ceramics: Play with Clay for Kids!

Kids can explore different techniques in this introduction to clay class!

Jump on into this kids only ceramics class for some messy fun and experiential learning. With us, kids will have the opportunity to advance in dexterity, spatial reasoning, and problem solving through participation in instructor supported hands-on art projects. Each project will encourage working three-dimensionally with varied stoneware clays, while offering playful and often, very silly prompts. Traditional hand-building techniques such as pinching, coiling, and slab-building will be taught to aid in making a range of functional, domestic, and sculptural projects. Projects vary from one session to the next, allowing for kids to return with their friends and learn the power of practice by building upon their abilities while exploring new ideas.

All supplies are included.

Slip-proof closed-toe shoes.

Clothes that can get messy.

DROP-INS:

This class IS NOT open for drop-in or Flex Pass students. Many of the projects take more than one session making it difficult for students to come and go from the class.

REFUND POLICY:

We are only able to offer refunds up to 2 weeks before the start of class. We do not offer refunds or credits or make up classes to students who miss class.

TRANSFER POLICY:

We may be able to transfer you to a different class depending on space availability.

CLASS CANCELLATION:

We find that students learn better in groups. If we feel the number of registrations is too low to promote a good learning environment, we may cancel the class. In the event we cancel a class, we will reach out to you as soon as possible to come to a solution.

TUITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM:

We try to make our classes as accessible to everyone as possible. We are able to offer a limited number of tuition assistance scholarships each term. You can complete an application in either English or Spanish or call our office for assistance applying.

MULTI-CLASS DISCOUNT:

When you register for more than one class, you can receive a discount up to 10% per class!

ADA ACCESSIBILITY & ACCOMMODATIONS:

Our classrooms are ADA accessible. Some courses may involve tasks or activities that may be difficult for individuals with limited strength, difficulty bending over, and sitting or standing for long periods of time. We are happy to work with students to find solutions to make their experience positive and doable. For example, wheel throwing takes arm strength and bending over the wheel. Students may work on hand-building projects instead of throwing. Please reach out to our office to discuss your needs.

This class is taught in English.
